Formula 1 is a pain in the ass to watch over here. Most of the races come on at like 3-7am here and the channel it aired on only repeats the race one time at some obsurd time as well.

haven't you got a recorder or something?

Come on dude, I have to stay up till like 4:30AM to watch the NHL (which I might add, is back this season [:D] yay!), so you have no grounds to complain [:P][lol]


Everyone is raving on about the tracks and stuff, which you know, yeah, Monaco especially, but for me it's the cars that are the most impressive thing about. Like how stupidly fast do they accelerate? on the grid they just accelerate to like 200mph in a few seconds, like it's nothing, I can't imagine how thrilling those things are to drive, escpecially on a track like monaco where there is just walls flying past your car at 100mph, like 2cm away from the side of the car. They are surely the most technologically advanced vehicles on the planet, with all the regulations they have to abide by and so on, they're just genious. I mean, no other vehicles could go round a corner pulling up to 4.5 lateral g's without flying off the road . The engines are insane aswell, revving up to like 18,000rpm, if you went past like 7,000 in a normal car the engine would probably just rip into thousands of pieces . Like I said before aswell, the acceleration is phenomenal, you can't really imagine how it must feel, because I know how crazy the acceleration on Rita feels and in the time Rita reaches 60mph, Formula 1 cars will have reached closer to 200mph , just seems impossible to me, because they're only on tyre's, they're not actually physically connected to the track or anything. It's great to watch, to just see how fast they take some corners, it is quite unbelievable sometimes.

The crazy thing is, is that they cars havn't even reached thier full potential.

And there is no point in watching an entire race when I can just flip on the sports channel and watch the highlights and find out who won. Watching a repeat just isn't the same as watching it live.

the new rules this season really cut down on aerodynamics, otherwise, the speeds would be perhaps reaching to 400kp/h, and will result in to very deady crashes,

btw,

does anybody watch the A1GP?

I saw a little bit of the first A1 race, but honeslty, it just seemed a little crappy in comparison to F1 so I doubt I'll watch it again.

Yeah, and I think that kinda sucks with the rules this season, that said they had to cut downforce by 25%, I mean I guess it is in the interest of safety because the cars were starting to go too fast , but I didn't hear the drivers complaining
